Simplified method for silver staining of proteins in polyacrylamide gels and the mechanism of silver staining
Abstract
The study of effects of several parameters on silver staining of proteins has led to the development of a staining method which is simple and reliable, requires only few stable solutions, and can be applied to all gel types such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) containing polyacrylamide or isoelectric focusing gels. It can be used for ultrathin layers (0.1–0.2 mm) or thicker slab gels (up to 3 mm). With this method not only proteins but also polypeptides of molecular weights as low as 2500 are detectable with high sensitivity. Comparison of isoelectric focusing and SDS‐containing gels and a simple spot test on thin gellayers show that the detection sensitivity depends not so much on the type of proteins but rather on their structure. The redox properties of the gel are important for the staining mechanism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
